    They speculate he had CTE like pro football players and that this was the factor in his depression and brain injury issues that led to his suicide.

    I met Dave at Wellsboro rally racing. It always boggles my mind that mental illness can overpower leaving your kids without a parent.. I know it's real,and my problem that I do not understand. I really wish he could have reached out to someone. Either way, he was a great guy. R I P Dave.
    Please help those who cannot help themselves.

    ALWAYS buying Museum quality machines,3 and 4 wheels. And any and ALL ,NOS parts,EVERY brand.

    I am turning my PM's Off,my Email is billsracing@hotmail.com,put 3WW in the subject. Thanx!

    There's such a stigma attached to anything mental illness in this country that I think people are afraid to ask because of this or maybe they feel guilty for troubling someone else with their issues. I've lost four friends since '91 from suicide and I never once saw it coming. Those friends seemed like they were handling things just fine with one friend killing himself two hours after I left his house playing cards. You never can tell.

    Life is precious.

    Praying for his wife and kids.

    So sad and what a legend! I was into bmx and freestyle in the late 80's and 90's. After high school he was hit by a drunk driver crossing the street. He cracked his skull open and had a blood clot on his brain along with a broken shoulder. He turned pro in 92 and rode for Hoffman. RIP Dave...
